I read this earlier and had some questions as to how Sweden's Democrat Nazi (nationalists vs internationalists) think in perspective to left or right wings there, compared to US politics. Its distorted from my view, but its what it is.

This article was most helpful, although I couldn't agree with some fine points. But, I do have a better understanding of how things are interrupted so differently across the ponds.

“The position he advocates is more extreme than any government of Israel has stated,” said Rabbi Rick Jacobs, president of the Union for Reform Judaism, the nation’s largest Jewish denomination, in an interview with Haaretz, citing Friedman’s public statements favoring Israeli annexation of the West Bank rather than pursuit of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.read more: http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-1.759455

California has a back-up plan if President-elect Donald Trump cuts funding for NASA's fleet of Earth-observing satellites, which are crucial to gathering climate change data.

"If Trump turns off the satellites, California will launch its own damn satellite," California Gov. Jerry Brown said to applause during a Dec. 14 speech at an Earth science conference in San Francisco.

On Thursday, Trump tweeted: “The United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes.”

In May, he suggested he could support South Korea, Japan and Saudi Arabia arming themselves with nuclear weapons for their own defence. “It’s going to happen anyway,” he told CNN. “It’s only a question of time.”

You will have to wait for his next tweet to find out. Or not. Apparently Putin is planning to expand Russia's nuclear arsenal. So after decades of receding fear of nuclear war, it is going to be ratcheted up again.

It's worth reading 1984, if you have't already. The loyalty of the masses is maintained by constant war. The hero's job is the falsification of history in the Ministry of Truth. The proles are a poverty stricken lot ignored by their rulers since they are powerless.

Of course, Orwell was analyzing Soviet communism but 1984 could be coming to the US soon.

Orwell was prophetic, this is a crucial 'need to read' particularly today. Seems like without war the whole concept of full employment and capitalism is nothing more than wrapping paper. But again, that is what Orwell eludes to in his book.

Trump knows that bringing back employment and industry paradynes of the past is impossible, but gear up the military, you can put people back to work. Is this a repeat of Red Scare, Cold War sort of politics? You can't be serious, not again? I would have liked to think after so many years of trial and error, we would have all figured this out by now. But, alas.....

It has been under reported by MSM, but Donald Trump has always supported the LGBT community. Some of Trump's greatest online supporters are members of the LGBT, and are activist. At one of his yuge rallies,...

I'm struggling to keep up with all this. Is Trump really planning to attack North Korea if they do another nuclear test? Is it seriously being considered as a possibility? Or is it just sabre rattling? And is this type...

Right now it looks like Putin/Trump are in agreement about the hacking. Can this issue be addressed without being partisan? Is the future of US democracy at stake? What are Trump's advisors telling him?

I lived through the fear of nuclear war between the old Soviet Union and America. I remember practicing what to do in elementary school in case of an attack. I remember the television commercials advertising...
